Today at my school we celebrated our 4th
Global Symposium: “Fashioning Global Change” let us reflect on the words of
Dorothy Day. May we bring to life her spirit of compassion and justice for all each day.
“What we would like to do is change the
world--make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter
themselves as God intended them to do. And, by fighting for better conditions,
by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, the poor, of the destitute--the
rights of the worthy and the unworthy poor, in other words--we can, to a
certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of
joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be
confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat,
there is nothing we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts
to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as our friend.” ― Dorothy Day
